Note: this topic is from 05/04/2010. Thanks Daffynition. I've heard tell that, in rural Canada, bridges are generally built upstream of beaver dams, even if the road route has to be changed. This is due to beavers living for generations on the same site, and actively maintaining the water level regardless of conditions.

You can zoom google earth pics down to low altitude

I assume that’s how the pic is

Every year we have break the dam and they always build back. I don't like these critters much.

A few years ago there was a damn across the water shed drain on the east side of my complex. I enjoyed watching them work and was dismayed when one of the residents called the DNR who came in, trapped the beavers then destroyed the damn. The reasoning was to protect against the road being flooded in the event of a big rain.

Turned out to be the right decision since 4 weeks later we did get the big rain and the water from the water shed came up almost to the road. Had the damn still been there, it would have been a major problem......

Beavers belong in the wilderness, not within subdivisions........

I see the beer bottle in the background.

Filthy, drunken beavers leaving their empty beer bottles laying around.

I hope Smokey Bear eats them.

37.8 beavers per year are killed by trees falling on them.

Good teeth but no brains.

Like my cousin Mike.

THAT is NOT a beaver!

That is some sort of fancy pussycat wearing braces.

Probably a Siberian Saw Cat.

Poor little rascal.

Chewing and chewing but never gets through that board.

Reminds me off my son eating corn on the cob.

Maybe a little butter and salt would help him get through it.
